Feldspar var Oligoclase (Sunstone) from Sitasaongi mine, Bhandara District, Nagpur Division, Maharashtra, India
A little bit tricky deciding how to title this listing - most people will know this material as Sunstone, some as oligoclase.
It is an orange-red member of the feldspar group with glittering inclusions giving it an unusual visual effect in some lights.
These are not gem grade specimens and typically the glittering areas are really rather small - so it is reasonable to call them oligoclase feldspar.
Sunstone from India is quite common but in my experience is usually sold simply as 'India' in terms of location, which is of limited use to mineral collectors.
